Agree.
There are lots of reasons for this, but one that stands out to me is that these folks claimed to be challenging power but were cozying up to it and hated that students had the temerity to notice—and reject—their sycophancy.

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why.
What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.
18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.
We made this website to tell our story:

DOGE is hurting working people, plain and simple.
Federal workers are members of our communities who work hard for this country, but right now they are in fear for their jobs. It’s not right.
These are some of their stories.

This is an appallingly discriminatory document.
This not only seeks to define transgender people out of existence, as with last week's order, today's executive order states that being transgender "conflicts with a soldier's commitment to an honorable, truthful, and disciplined lifestyle."
